SAFE OPERATION
IS YOUR BEST PROTECTION
AGAINST ACCIDENTS
Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time.
Operate tractor at right angles to ditch. Take as big a bite
as tractor can handle without lugging down.
Leave dirt which drifts over side of bucket for final cleanup.
Pile dirt on high side for easier backfilling on a slope.
HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS
1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy
objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs
and oil drums is not recommended.
2. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely
dangerous due to:
•
Danger of tractor rolling over.
•
Danger of up-ending tractor.
•
Danger of object rolling or sliding down loader
arms onto operator.
3. If you must perform above work, protect yourself by:
•
Never lifting load higher than necessary to clear
ground when moving.
•
Ballasting tractor rear to compensate for load.
•
Never lifting large objects with equipment that
does not have an anti-rollback device.
